Are GLP-1 Agonists going to be used as a treatment for Substance Use Disorders?

It's established (some links below) that GLP-1's can also reduce alcohol cravings and consumption? So much so that it's being studied as a treatment for Alochol and other  Substance Use Disorders. It also supposed to have a protective effect (to a certain extent) on the liver. If this is established - it opens a whole new category of therapy for this wonder drug

How to reduce domestic abuse in Indian families?

I too have been guilty in the past, of emotional abuse with my loved ones (shouting at them or pushing them to do something my way) in the past - and thankfully I have managed to largely overcome that defect of mine (not fully though). It's basically psychological abuse and (imo) unacceptable and should be punished

Other forms of domestic abuse are physical violence and sexual violence. The victims are of both genders though largely it is the women who suffer.

Note: Domestic abuse prevails in many forms including, Financial (deprivation) abuse; Excessive control including family stalking; Gas lighting and Coercive Manipulation; Slavery; Discriminatory abuse etc

The law is inefficient. The family victims rarely complain. What other methods can be applied at the government level, to address this problem, do you think?

Complications of Diabetes

Is there a comprehensive list of all the illnesses caused by diabetes (complications)? I managed to get some as below but I'm sure there are more. Please suggest from your experience so that we get a better understanding of the disease

Diabetic Ketoacidosis (DKA) :  A life-threatening build-up of acids (ketones) in the blood.

Retinopathy :  Damage to the blood vessels in the retina, leading to vision loss or blindness.

Nephropathy :  Kidney damage that can lead to Chronic Kidney Disease or failure.

Neuropathy :  Nerve damage causing numbness, pain, or digestive issues like Gastroparesis.

Cardiovascular Disease :  Includes heart attack, Coronary Artery Disease, and chest pain (angina).

Stroke :  Interruption of blood flow to the brain, often linked to high blood pressure.

Peripheral Artery Disease (PAD) :  Reduced blood flow to the limbs, contributing to slow-healing sores and Amputation.

Periodontal Disease :  Higher glucose in saliva leads to gum infections and tooth decay.

Erectile Dysfunction :  Nerve and blood vessel damage affecting sexual function.

Infections :  Diabetes weakens the immune system, increasing risk for skin and bladder infections.

Mental Health :  Increased risk of Dementia.

Hearing Loss :  High blood sugar can damage the small nerves and vessels in the inner ear.

There maybe lots of things you told your marriage partner that you regret. For example - threats to leave, insults, comparisons to exes, etc. But what are the things that you have never said - but always wanted to?

I'll start: "I am scared of how dependent on you I have become"
